Chapter 29: That Drunken Moment
“So… what exactly did you all do?”
Inside the private room of the restaurant, Xiao Yuze looked at someone lying on the table, hiccupping from alcohol, and a few dark lines appeared on his forehead.
Around her, there were four or five empty beer cans.
As if she sensed something, Mu Le suddenly raised her flushed face and looked at him with blurry eyes.
“…Xiao… Xiao Yuze? You’re… here… come… drink with me…”
Thud.
Before she could finish speaking, her body went limp, and she fell back onto the table.
The man rubbed his nose helplessly, then looked at the other people who were still sober.
Under his gaze, they all awkwardly looked away.
Actually, this wasn’t really their fault.
The three of them didn’t plan to drink at first. Even when Mu Le took a few cans of beer, they didn’t say anything.
After all, it was just beer.
But no one expected that while they were chatting and eating, all those beers somehow ended up in Mu Le’s stomach.
By the time Xiao Yuze arrived, following the message Mu Le had sent, this was the situation.
“Forget it. Looking at her like this, she’s probably done for the night. You all continue, I’ll take her back first.”
Xiao Yuze sighed and walked to Mu Le’s side.
“Sorry for the trouble,” Xiao Han said first, looking apologetic.
The usually quiet Luo Xinyan also nodded. “Yeah, be careful on the way.”
As for Bai Xin, she still had a playful smile on her face.
She stuck out her tongue, then said teasingly, “Senior, you can do whatever you want to drunk Lele.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuze froze for a moment.
He coughed lightly and looked away from Mu Le, as if trying to hide something.
“Don’t joke around. Lele… can you still stand?”
“…Hic.”
The only response he got was another hiccup.
In the end, the helpless man could only pull her up and let her lean against him.
Mu Le blinked her confused eyes, but didn’t resist.
“Then I’ll take her and go first.”
After saying that to the others, Xiao Yuze supported Mu Le and walked out.
Of course, he tried his best to ignore the strange looks from the three people behind him.
After he left…
“They’re really close.”
“Yeah, Lele didn’t even let us get near her just now.”
“This is what people call an old married couple, right?”
The three of them looked at each other and nodded, as if they all understood something.
Outside, Xiao Yuze spent quite a bit of effort putting Mu Le into the back seat of the car.
But instead of going to the driver’s seat, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, closed the car door, and looked at the girl sitting crookedly beside him.
“Alright, stop pretending.”
“Hm?” His voice made Mu Le react. She tilted her head, looking confused.
“I know your alcohol tolerance. Those few cans of low-alcohol beer shouldn’t be enough to get you drunk.”
Xiao Yuze spoke very calmly.
There was actually a reason for this. Even though Mu Le didn’t look very strong, her alcohol tolerance was surprisingly high.
Whether it was beer or strong liquor, at past gatherings, many people had been drunk under the table by her.
Xiao Yuze had experienced this himself when eating with her before.
So, someone like Mu Le, who could “drink a thousand cups without falling,” shouldn’t suddenly become weak at drinking just because she turned into a girl.
But…
Thud.
Before he could say anything else, the girl beside him suddenly leaned over and fell onto his lap.
Xiao Yuze’s expression froze.
Looking at her delicate face with her eyes gently closed, he couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her cheek.
“Hey, don’t tell me you’re really drunk?”
Mu Le ignored him. After lying there for a moment, she suddenly pushed herself up.
Under Xiao Yuze’s stiff reaction, the girl slowly climbed onto him.
“…Lele, what are you doing?”
The space inside the car was small. He was startled by her actions, but didn’t dare to move, afraid he might touch something by accident.
Before he could react, Mu Le was already in a very close and suggestive position, sitting on him.
Then she rested her face on his shoulder and softly said, almost like she was breathing out,
“Hey… do you really think I’m drunk? Hic…”
“…Stop messing around and sit properly.”
Feeling the warm breath near his ear, a darker look flashed in Xiao Yuze’s eyes.
So this is what she’s like when she’s drunk?
“No.”
Mu Le shook her head and wrapped her arms around his neck.
“I’m not… drunk… I just… just… hic…”
“Alright, alright, you’re not drunk, okay?” Xiao Yuze sighed and tried to calm her.
“You don’t believe me. I’m really… not drunk. I just… just want to act a little wild.”
Xiao Yuze: “……”
Did she just say something pretty serious?
“Hehe, just kidding.”
Seeing his strange expression, Mu Le laughed first.
Then she suddenly held his face with both hands and gave him a quick kiss.
Before Xiao Yuze could react, she had already moved back to the empty seat beside him.
She adjusted herself into a comfortable position and even fastened her seatbelt.
“Aze, drive.”
Beside her, Xiao Yuze gently touched the place where she kissed him, his expression complicated.
He turned slightly and saw that Mu Le had already closed her eyes, looking like she had fallen asleep.
After a moment of silence, the man suddenly leaned forward and lightly kissed her lips.
It was just a quick touch. He smiled softly.
“Sneak attacks aren’t allowed.”
After saying that, he got out of the car and walked to the driver’s seat.
But just as he stepped out, Mu Le’s closed eyes opened slightly.
She stuck out her tongue and gently licked the spot where he had kissed her.
“Sneak attack? What are you talking about… mine was obvious. You’re the one who sneaked…”
After mumbling that, Mu Le relaxed completely, letting her body sink into the seat.
Was she drunk or not? Who knows.
She just suddenly wanted to do something she normally wouldn’t dare to do, but thought might feel good.
And it turned out, it really did feel good.
The car, which had been stopped for a while, finally started moving, slowly at first, then speeding up and disappearing at the end of the street.
At the same time, from the second floor window of a nearby restaurant, a gaze slowly pulled back.
“Hey brother, what were you looking at?”
Just as he looked away, a girl about fourteen or fifteen suddenly came from behind and wrapped her arms around him.
The man shook his head and calmly removed her hands.
“Nothing.”
“Really? It felt like you were staring over there for a while.”
“Your imagination.”
“Huh? Liar!”
